An Australian Christmas menu…
We recently hosted 17 adults and 9 babies for a Christmas lunch, the perfect way to road-test a new house (especially the kitchen!). The secret to it running smoothly… good preparation (and a kitchen with plenty of bench space and a big oven!). Here’s the menu …

Salted Caramel and Chocolate Fudge Slice (Gluten Free, Dairy free, Refined Sugar Free and Paleo)
One of the things I believe strongly in is playing around with recipes. Taking someone else’s amazing creation and tweaking it a little, or combining it with another part of a different recipe. That’s exactly what I’ve done here!

My favourite online Christmas present shopping options..
I’m going to keep this short and to-the-point… I’m in LOVE with online products and app, and think that you should be too this Christmas! Think yourself lucky that I’m willing to share my little secrets with you. What’s more, these amazingly awesome products are made by locals in my region (Geelong & Torquay) and Melbourne. I’ll be giving these presents this Christmas. If you want to as well simply place your order right now online, and have it arrive on your doorstep – could it get any easier?

The Christmas decorations are coming down from the top shelf

Christmas decorations sorted, here’s a sneak peek…
It was time to change my Christmas decorations, so I started a Pinterest Christmas board for inspiration.

I am getting ahead of myself, but I thought I would give you a sneak peak anyway… I am really happy with the combo, and love the fresh and cheery colours.

On the first day of Christmas… I finished my Christmas wreath!
On the first day of Christmas my true love said to me…. “Now we’ve moved house can you finish off some of these crafty projects you have started (and never finished)!” Amongst the box unpacking (we moved into our new house last week… you can visit my blog about building the house at www.lot271.com) I found some time to make my toilet-paper-roll-Christmas-wreath as I promised I would in my Christmas decoration post. I couldn’t have made it any earlier because I needed the extra time to collect enough toilet rolls! I think that is a good enough excuse, don’t you?
